There's one on the Maine Memory Network from 1900. NOW if we could only figure out which of the houses on that north end (quite visible when you zoom in on the north end here) was the Smith home. http://www.mainememory.net/artifact/20248/zoom<br />Tim Schermanhttp://www.oakes-smith.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17769419.post-8098072163615781152014-06-14T22:13:27.464-04:002014-06-14T22:13:27.464-04:00Just north of Tukey's bridge was the home of M...Just north of Tukey's bridge was the home of Maine writers Seba Smith and Elizabeth Oakes Smith. Ms. Ruth Trappan, who studied the Cushing and Prince families for years, left a box of notes behind at her death, now in the Yarmouth History Center, one scrap of which is a sketch of this home that was pictured in a newspaper (poorly printed) in 1923. DOES ANYONE HAVE IMAGES of this particular area north of Tukey's Bridge before 1923? DOES ANYONE KNOW when the house there was torn down? I don't think the land was taken by 295 until the mid 20th century.
